Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed June 6, 1911.

Patented Dot. 3, 1911.

Serial No. 631,504.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELZA MODANIEL, a citizen of. the United States,residing at Martinsville, in the county of Clark and State of Illinois,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in PlowAttachments-Jointers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is a plow attachment,a j ointer.

It is well known among the farmers that in turning the land over,especially in the spring of the year, there is always on the outer edgeof the mold a small part of the mold which is not turned under andextending from it a small earthy growth of weeds, grass, etc., which isdisposed to grow up and offer further obstruction to the successfulcultivation of the land.

The object of this invention is to cut the turning edge of the mold sothat it will be turned under the main body thereof and thus the smallearthy growth be completely covered up'and perish out of the way.

My jointer consists of a knife secured to the upper edge of the rearpart of the mold board by means of a sleeve and screws.

Reference being had to the drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of aplow having my invention secured thereto. Fig. 2 is a perspective viewof my invention. Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view. on the line m-w ofFig. 1. Fig. 4: is a vertical end view show ing the blade turned to theright instead of to the left as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3.

Referring more particularly to the accompanying one sheet of drawings, Arepresents the plow, 1 the beam, 2 the handles, 3 the standard and plowfoot, 4 the mold board secured to the foot, 5 the sleeve, 6 the blade, 7the arm of the blade which is ad justably secured in the rectangularperforation 8 and recess 9 in said sleeve by means of a screw 10. Thesethree last figures represent my invention, the jointer adapted to beused in connection with the mold board of a plow. The short side 11, ofthe sleeve 5, always works on the front of the mold board while the longside 12, of the sleeve works on the rear side so that the screws 7 and10, are out of the way and will not take up the grass, weeds, etc, andclog the plow. The slot 13, in the sleeve fits over the upper edge ofthe mold board and somewhat to the rear of its center. The front edge14, of the blade 6, is sharp so as to cut the turning edge of the moldas the plow is moved along. The sleeve is bound securely to the moldboard by means of the screw 7, and the arm of the blade is pressedagainst the rear side of said mold board by means of the screw 10.

It will be seen by reference to Fig. 4 in which the blade is turned tothe right instead of to the left as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, that myinvention, the jointer, may be used on a right hand plow as well as on aleft hand plow.

Although I have specifically described the specific construction,combination and arrangement of the several parts of my invention, yet Ido not confine myself to such specific construction and arrangement butreserve and may exercise the right to make such changes therein as donot depart from the spirit of the specification or the scope of theappended claims.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is:

1. An attachment to the mold board of a plow consisting of a sleeve 5,having running vertically in it a rectangular perforation 8 and a recess9, said sleeve having a vertical slot 13 dividing it into two sides, ashort side 11, and a long side 12, screws 7 working through the longside of said sleeve adapted to secure said sleeve to the mold board andscrew 10, working through said long side adapted to press the arm of theblade against the rear face of said mold board, a blade 6 secured tosaid handle and extending above said sleeve turning outwardly andslightly downward, substantially as shown and described.

2. In combination with the mold board of a plow, an attachment, a sleevehaving its lower part divided into two sides by means of a verticalslot, the long side thereof provided with a vertical rectangularperforation and a vertical recess, a blade having an arm adapted to beadjustably secured in said recess and against the rear side of said moldboard, the blade extending outwardly and substantially at a right anglefrom said handle, said sleeve adapted to be secured to said mold boardby means of screws, substantially as shown and described.

3. In combination with the mold board of a plow, a sleeve having runningupwardly and vertically in it a slot dividing said sleeve into twoparts, said parts adapted to fit downwardly, substantially as shown anddescribed. 10

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
